Sentinel 1 GRD Entropy-Alpha Decomposition

that’s true, but the quality of information is not really comparable

H-Alpha Plane Problems

technically, you can derive entropy and alpha, yes. But the results are not very useful, especially for cross polarization. It just doesn’t give all the information needed for polarimetry: Thus, HH-VV SAR is a suitable alternative to full-polarization SAR in certain cases. Meanwhile, the extraction performance of the other two dual-polarization SARs is badly degraded due to the lack of co-polarization. Therefore, HH-HV and HV-VV SARs cannot effectively extract the scattering mechanisms in the …
